Office Relocation

Contents

Can you be sure the calculations you are making and the decisions you are taking, when proposing new office locations, are completely accurate?

Getting an office relocation wrong can prove very costly so why use inaccurate data.

There is a solution that will improve decision making that provides accurate travel time analysis and represents the actual commute for staff travelling to their new destination.

VISUALISATION OF TRAVEL TIME

The analysis is undertaken using the award winning travel time analysis software TRACC, as used by Department for Transport, central government, UK councils and private sector consultancies.

Basemap Limited, creators of TRACC, offers a full package of data and images that will provide the necessary information to show how the proposed new office locations can impact on staff commuting times.

Travel time analysis can be provided for public transport, car, cycling and walking. For each staff member, we just need a unique ID and postcode or address; no need to provide staff names.

LOCAL AREA ANALYSIS

What local amenities does the new office location require?

Reports can be provided showing how many supermarkets, leisure centres, universities or other point of interest are within a certain walking time.

People don't walk on water, so why settle for maps with circles around offices?

What about the influence of natural barriers such as rivers and manmade obstacles such as main roads and buildings?

How long does it take to get to office A by public transport?

How long does it take to get to office B by public transport?

EXISTING OFFICE V PROPOSED OFFICE – QUANTIFICATION OF TRAVEL TIME

Typical output could include:

Staff home to office travel time matrix files

Staff office to home travel time matrix files

Individual staff home to office public transport journey reports providing break down of entire journey

Individual staff office to home public transport journey reports providing break down of entire journey

Average journey times

Client address to/from office travel time analysis

Airports within defined travel time

DEMOGRAPHIC ANALYSIS WITHIN DEFINED TRAVEL TIME CATCHMENT

A new location may mean new staff. Knowing how many people of a certain social demographic live within a commutable distance of each new office location will further improve the decision making on the best new location.
